the binding of isaac and deep rock galactic. best games I've ever played oh and maybe minecraft (I'm 28 and the past 2 weeks got into the mc rabbit hole AGAIN)

I really need to test them as well. Being ~100GB each is quite good for me, I won't need more than 100 for my whole life

I get it about stuff that you don't really care about But if I spend a day looking for a specific movie, I'm taking it to my grave

I'm so happy about steam's monopoly. I almost feel like they're there for us, they broke capitalism

exactly that, INCLUDING server-side binaries to re-create any online features

I could argue that the source code should become public domain as well but we already sound like crazy people

discs are a personal archiving solution (quite a bad one too, unless you're into m-discs n stuff) and do not solve the data accessibility issue (copying it is labor intensive and needs human interaction, in contrast to a torrent)

Just a side note that M-DISC exists which is essentially a blue ray disk with a claimed longevity of a thousand years (strong emphasis on "claimed". there's a lot of controversy around it)

but yes the only way to retain access is piracy as it allows people that didn't have the media to get it

it just downloads the torrents in real time for you and gives you a single link. It removes all the torrent quirks - except of course of the fact that you need seeders and the download speed depends on them.

Why is nobody talking about stremio? The user interface and experience is very close to netflix (better at times) but it plays torrents instead.

If you pair it with a real-debrid subscription after you first try it solo it takes it to the next level.

It’s just amazing

And you don’t have to buy anything. Stremio can be installed on your firetv stick

EDIT: forgot to mention that you need the torrentio or torrrentio lite add on for stremio.

what I want to stress out at this point is that due to the techniques required to crack a game (dll injection, ssl pinning bypass, syscall hooking and more) are used by malware

that though leaves you completely unaware if the crack is benign or not. It could be or it could be not. “but it worked fine for me” is also not a good enough pointer as it’s very common practice making the malware run only under certain conditions (after a month, only when the PC is idle or the screen is locked, or make it extremely lightweight - just upload all your browser cookies once a day

if you get hit by something like this there’s no going back. you need to format. there are very, VERY weird ways that a malware can replicate/hide itself to.

software has, is and always will be a game of trust. do you trust the cracker? or even the company that makes the software? and if so, why

I always suggest to never run cracks on a machine that is used to log into personal accounts

The only crack that I actually trust is mass grave (windows & office crack). It’s a powershell script so you can just read its source code

[–] dzervas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

there really is no way to know if you’ve got a virus. it doesn’t take a lot of time to develop a malware that is undetectable, especially if you target something very specific and make it be patient about it. e.g. wait a month, snatch all the browser cookies and send them to a server hosted on azure.

or every so often snatch the clipboard

there are a lot of ways to be very silent

I highly suggest you don’t use the pc you run the pirated games on for anything critical
